>>Steve, I would never rule out a truly bipartisan health care/health insurance bill on some positive, incremental measures that would find support with a broad swath of the American public.<< Republicans like to point to polls showing that 53% of Americans (or whatever the number is) don't like the healthcare bills passed by the Senate and the House. They believe that this shows that the bills are too liberal. But a good portion of the people who don't like the bills because they aren't close to being liberal enough. I don't think the five suggestions put forth here would actually find more support than what Congress has already come up with. You'd lose the support of as many people on the left as you would gain from the right.
